Waiting for the Sun...........


Today there was an 80% chance of rain but thank God the sun came out.....It was hot and humid.....and muddy.....But the water is starting to go down and people are seeing the damage that's been done. Our governor declared our county and 16 others a state of emergency...Our county water source has been flooded so we are boiling water and being very grateful we have a dry house, many homes and roads are still flooded and will not be passable for a long time...They are calling this an historic flood for Metro Atlanta....We will only suffer damage from erosion and will need to do a lot of cleaning up....We are very, very, blessed...Others are not so fortunate...So many are in shelters and others are without flood insurance....My thoughts and prayers are with so many tonight...

I am so thankful that you guys are still dry with all the flooding and rains. It rained here 19 days and 14 of them were every single day.

We are under beautiful blue skies x 3 days with fall like temperatures.

Praying for lots of sunshine for you all.

I am so thankful that Brandon no longer lives in Atlanta!

((hugs))

I'm real sorry about the flooding! We saw flooding in Oregon years ago, actually rode in a raft w/ a friend on the cul-de-sac he lived on, helping a neighbor pick up his mail...very surreal...I hope the water continues to subside and that you are holding up emotionally.
